Stephanie McMahon struggled with Triple H’s health problems last year, and it took a toll on her family, playing a role in her WWE hiatus, PWInsider.com reports. Mike Johnson said it was ‘very rough on her family.’
Stephanie McMahon isn’t the only big name woman taking a break from WWE. Sasha Banks and Naomi recently grabbed the headlines when they took a huge step during RAW. There have been various sides to the story already reported, including that the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions confronted WWE Chairman Vince McMahon over their issue. WWE left that part out of their official narrative, but Banks and Naomi did have words with the boss. In the official statement from the company, it was noted that Sasha Banks and Naomi dropped their tag titles on the desk of John Laurinaitis and left the building. It has been speculated that Banks and Naomi reportedly won’t be fired.
It was recently noted on the latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown that Sasha Banks and Naomi have also been indefinitely suspended from WWE and had their WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles stripped. Even their merchandise was pulled from the online shop. Now, it turns out they are being omitted their mentions from their standard rundowns for TV programs.

According to Fightful Select, Sasha Banks and Naomi weren’t listed on the standard rundowns for SmackDown this past Friday. Naomi and Sasha Banks were scheduled to be a part of a six-pack challenge on the May 16 episode of Raw. The match was to feature Naomi, Sasha, Asuka, Becky Lynch, Nikki A.S.H., and Doudrop. The winner was to get a shot at Bianca Belair‘s Raw Women’s Championship. The main event was altered as Asuka defeated Lynch in a singles match. Many have noted the controversial incident and a former WWE star also heavily bashed WWE Chairman Vince McMahon about it. We will have to see how this matter moves forward.
